the ds has a built in gba emulator right?
its possible to emulate gameboy/gameboy color games on the nds so y cant a gba emulator be made for the ds?
now i dont know how to make emulators for the ds but if all of you smart guys out there work together couldnt a gba emulator be made for the ds?

The DS does NOT have a GBA emulator. The DS has the actual extra chipset and processor specific for GBA games. Because of this, GBA games can ONLY be run off the slot 2, where commercial GBA games are played. If you want to play GBA games, you NEED a slot 2 device, or a combo slot 1 and 2 device. I recommend the EZ Flash 3 in 1 as a slot 2 card.

wow not only the n64 but also a gba emulation??
dude u'll get banned if you make these stupid noob posts.
Go use the search function and see if you can find the answer yourself.
And the DS does not emulate the GBA. It plays the gba game.
please lock this topic too before a flame war starts.

When you have a 3-in-1 EZFlash V slot device, you can run gba games using a loader like GBA exploader. Is there a patcher that will allow you to run gba games directly from the R4/M3 games menu (like you can patch rumble games and DS Browser to directly use slot2 3-in-1 EZFlash device) instead of running it via a loader?

Actually, I'm pretty sure there is an app that appends a loader to the GBA ROM so you can run it directly from the menu. It writes it to a SLOT-2 cart, obviously; IT DOES NOT RUN IN DS MODE. I can't think what it's called now. Anybody?

EDIT: OK, it's called NDStation. BUT YOU STILL NEED A 3-IN-1 TO PLAY GBA GAMES. THEY'RE NOT BEING CONVERTED TO DS GAMES OR ANY NONSENSE LIKE THAT. Also, apparently it only works with the first hardware revision of the 3-in-1.
